    Upgraded pumps
    Shayla B.

    Let's face it; filling up my gas tank is probably one my least favorite tasks. It's not as bad as doing laundry or handwashing dishes but it still ranks pretty high on my "Don't like to do" list. Luckily, World Oil has helped to relieve some of my stress over the years. For one thing, it's located only about a mile and a half away from the freeway. I hate to admit it, but I'm notorious for driving my car until it gets below the E line. I know, I know... bad Shayla. But, once I'm off that freeway, I know that World Oil is just down the street and not miles away. In all of the years that I've been coming here, I've never had to wait in a ridiculously long line. If you've ever filled up at the Arco across the street or at the Safeway Gas station in Pleasant Hill, you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes, I wonder... is this wait REALLY worth the extra couple of cents that I'm already wasting while here sitting in this long ass line? Arco charges $.35 if you're using a card, so by the time you tack that fee onto the total, you're basically paying the same price as what you'd pay here. At least I have the option to use debit OR credit here. The gas prices are pretty competitive with some of the other cheaper gas stations in the area, and it's always way cheaper that the expensive ass 76 station on the corner. I usually pay at the pump but there's always an attendant on duty when I'm there. I can't even remember the last time that I went inside to pay for gas or to buy anything. I guess I'm just spoiled by the pay at the pump machines now. World Oil recently upgraded all of their pumps and their price sign and it looks really nice. It would be nice if they were open 24 hours, but 7a-10p ain't all that bad. I'll keep coming here as long as they're around. Thanks for keeping my car happy and full, World Oil!

    I have been there two times. Service was so bad. And the manager was so rude . He don't know how to speak with customers.

    I love it because it's right across the street from Monument Liquors so I come here after I go there.

    Subliminal Ads? This…read moreis a small gas station with small prices! After picking up my wife, we had a few minutes, and I was delighted to see such an inexpensive station nearby. I confess, however, I did not literally see the gas station. I use an app called GasBuddy to find cheap stations. It was pretty crowded but I managed to maneuver around to find a spare pump. I hardly cut anyone off. At least I don't think I did. At least nobody yelled or honked at me or tried to run me over. There's barely enough room to maneuver, but if you're patient you can get a fantastic price. Today, I saved about $0.25 a gallon by shopping here. I especially like the fact that it's the same price for credit or cash. Of course, I use my Amazon Prime Visa card to get 2% back. It makes me feel good to send less of my money to oil companies. I would feel even better if I did not give them any of my money, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. And Yelp cash back only applies to restaurants. Maybe this could be an enhancement? I would love for them to give me 7% cash back for gasoline purchases. They could even make the pump run slower if they would give me back 7%. Heck, I would crank the handle myself for 7% cash back. The pump equipment is new, and the pumps are fast. They operate by electricity now; you do not actually need to crank the handle, or anything like that. You simply watch the numbers and they tell you how much money they are sucking out of your wallet. My car was completely full in just 2 minutes. The gas tank, I mean; the car itself remained the same size, as did the occupants. Wait I just thought of something! I don't think they play those annoying video advertisements at the pumps that most gas stations play! On the other hand, maybe they ARE playing, but subliminally, so I can't even tell that I'm watching an advertisement. I will have to give this further thought and revisit again. I am very gullible, and it's quite possible they are tricking me.

    tl;dr: Phil at Morello replaced my catalytic converter incorrectly, and I spent almost an entire…read morestressful year trying to get him to resolve this to no avail, and ultimately discovered he had been lying to me on multiple occasions, and his shop does not have a valid California BAR license. Another shop had to completely re-do the work. I've been going to Morello for small jobs like oil changes for a number of years. In May 2024 my catalytic converter was stolen from my 2006 Honda Accord. I took it to Morello to replace the converter and O2 sensors. He replaced it with an aftermarket converter. Soon after it was installed, my check engine light (CEL) came on, which started a long saga trying to resolve it. Over the course of the following months, I dropped off my car many times. He first replaced the O2 sensors, which did not resolve the problem. Then a few months later, he tried replacing the catalytic converter, which also did not work. Then he spent several months promising that he was working with the BAR to certify my catalytic converter even though the CEL was still on. He was never able to resolve this after several months of asking him for an update. At this point I took the car to another shop for a second opinion (March 2025). They quickly identified that the catalytic converter that was installed was not the correct one for my engine family. I went back to Morello, requesting that he remedy the situation since he never installed the correct converter to begin with. I urged him to install a Honda OEM converter that we could be 100% sure to work, since at this point he had been unable to resolve this issue for 11 months. He promised he would do this. Once he assured me had the Honda catalytic converter in the shop, I dropped off the car on March 20, and picked up the car on March 21. No one was at the shop when I came to pick up the car, I had to get the keys from the gas station owner. However, the CEL was still lit. I also went under the car and discovered that there was no difference in the catalytic converter, it was still the exact same aftermarket catalytic converter. This kicked off another month's worth of poor communication and excuses. I eventually finally arranged to be at the shop to do the work on April 18; Phil once again promised me that he had the Honda OEM converter on hand and that it would be finished that day. Given the poor communication and problems resolving the issue, I decided to stay at the shop to confirm the correct converter was installed, and verify the completion of work. However, Phil refused to come to the shop and work on it while I was at the shop. He required that I leave the car and return at the end of the day. Over the course of the day, it became clear that he had lied to me - he did not have the Honda OEM part on hand. In fact, he arranged mid-day for another aftermarket converter to be delivered (the *exact same model I had on my car*), which I declined to install. Ultimately, I spent 6 hours at the shop, and Phil never showed up. He never gave me any paperwork, despite my requests for it. He was never at the shop when I came to pick up the car (he always had me pick up after hours), so I would call him to request the paperwork be left with the car. He always made promises, but never followed through. In the end, I took the car to another shop for an additional opinion and to re-do the work with a Honda OEM catalytic converter. Their evaluation of the work that was done by Morello was "a butcher job" and that there were multiple problems with the work: "I'll put it this way, I've never seen anyone do it like that before". The welds were done poorly, a flex bracket was missing, and the pipes used were the wrong size. In the end, I needed a new catalytic converter, flex bracket, and entirely new exhaust pipe. One additional comment about communication: A lot of times Phil does not reply to text messages or answer the phone. I often had to try calling multiple times throughout multiple days to get a hold of him. Oftentimes, he would tell me things like "I need to check with {something/someone}, I'll call you back in 15 minutes", but he would never keep his word to call me back, requiring me to continuously call back to try and reach him. I did not appreciate the feeling of micromanaging the project due to his poor communication. By contrast the other shop was able to resolve this in a single day, over 3 short phone calls - one call to schedule the work, one to update me on the diagnosis and the work required, and one final call to inform me of completion. I made a complaint to the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and discovered in the process that his license has been delinquent since 2023. At this point I cannot recommend this shop to anyone. It's clear Phil has not been working in good faith to help me but has lied to me on multiple occasions.

Not a great start for this new management won't be coming here anymore.

Today, however, I had one of the most disappointing and upsetting experiences I've ever had at any business. I came in holding a $50 bill and a $10 bill to pay for gas, only to be treated like a criminal. An employee--described as a skinny male--accused me of using a fake $50 bill two days ago to buy a scratcher. He claimed he was "sure" it was me because he saw me on camera. When I asked to see the footage or speak to a manager, I was told the manager wasn't there. After pushing the issue, he eventually apologized--not because he realized he was wrong, but because he said the person in the footage "looked Asian," just like me. That is completely unacceptable. I've never used fake money in my life, and being falsely accused, especially in a store I've supported for a year, is beyond offensive. This experience left me feeling angry, and deeply hurt. I expect better treatment from any business, let alone one I've been loyal to. I hope this is taken seriously and addressed properly, not just with an apology, but with a change in how customers are treated--especially when it comes to assumptions based on race or appearance.
